CHRISTIAN READER. 

Captain George Cor win came to Salem in the Massa- 
chusetts Bay Colony in the year 1638. He was the son 
of John Corwin of Sibbeitoft, Northamptonshire, Eng- 
land, and was born December 10th, 1610. His first wife 
was Elizabeth White, widow of John White and daughter 
of John Herbert. His second wife was Elizabeth Brook, 
widow of Robert Brook and daughter of Gov. Edward 
Winslow of the Plymouth Colony. Captain Corwin had 
eight children: Abigail; John, a merchant in Salem; 
Jonathan, one of the judges in the witchcraft trials in 
1692 ; Hannah ; Elizabeth ; Penelope ; Susannah ; and 
George, the sheriff who hanged the witchcraft victims. He 
was often engaged in public affairs and was captain of a 
troop of horse and representative to the General Court. 
The house where he lived and died was located very near- 
ly where now stands the Jonathan Ward house, now a 
part of the Washington House. He early became a ship- 
builder and shipowner and was engaged in commence 
during the whole of his life. Not only did his vessels 
bring from England the various necessities and luxuries 
required by the colony, but from a shop near his house 
they were sold in quanties both large and small. Judging 
from the inventory of the contents of his shop which was 
taken shortly after his death, he supplied to the town's 
people a great variety of what would be described at the 
present day as dry goods and hardware. This carefully 
prepared list of commodities found in a Salem shop of 
1685 throws much light upon the life of that time and

fully shows that the homes of the early settlers were not 
lacking in the over-sea's comforts of that period, and 
often times the luxuries as well. In many ways it is a 
surprising enumeration, containing articles that generally 
are supposed to have come into use at a later date. Spring 
locks, cupboard latches, barber's scissors and a great 
variety of spices are seldom associated with the supposed 
hardships of that early day ; and the silver-laced cloth coat 
and satin waistcoat embroidered with gold, with the 
tropeing scarf, silver hat-band, and silver-headed cane (the 
last of which is now in the museum of the Essex Insti- 
tute), display a magnificence not equalled at the present 
time. The inventory also possesses additional interest in 
that it pictures in infinite detail the contents of each 
room and closet in the Corwin house. From it one may 
easily note the furnishings and clothing of the period. 
While many of the articles described bear names that now 
are very nearly obsolete yet nearly all may be found in the 
Century Dictionary or in Wright's Dialectic Dictionary. 
It should be borne in mind, however, that the spelling is 
usually phonetic.
